Pierce is obsessed with taking down a local kingpin, Quince, who is an expert at evading arrest, as he was once a policeman himself. Meanwhile, PC Strange is a new beat cop, fresh and idealistic about serving the public good, who meets a hippie girl named Frederika while quieting a street scuffle. Frederika takes an interest in Strange, who is quickly learning the harder realities of police life. When Strange gets trapped in a budding scandal, it's Pierce who convinces Strange he can save him, but only if Strange helps bend the law to entrap Quince.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn early feature from prolific telefilm director David Greene (I Start Counting; Rich Man, Poor Man), THE STRANGE AFFAIR combines the grit of US police drama with English working-class culture, delivering a strong update to the form with its multiple storylines and cynical eye on both pop culture and bureaucracy. Featuring powerful performances from Michael York (Austin Powers, Murder on the Orient Express), Susan George (Straw Dogs, Tintorera), and Jeremy Kemp (Top Secret!, Dr. Terror's House of Horrors), it also boasts a stunning soundtrack by experimental composer Basil Kirchin (The Abominable Dr. Phibes) and photography from Alex Thomson (The Keep).
